I'm not sure if this is a known issue yet, but I seem to be unable to see any text I type in to text boxes, such as this one I am typing into to write this message.

Just in cae this is an uncommon problem, I am using Firefox 1.0 to view this page right now on Windows XP Pro SP2.

(The only reason I was able to write this so well without serious errors is that I can highlight the text to place it on a blue background so I can actually see it. It must be a case of white text on a white background.)

Edit: Note that I can read posts just fine, it is only the text boxes that can be typed into which are troublesome.

Nah, you probably just reloaded the css :) I had the same issue earlier while I was tinkering with the board.

Also, incidentally, server-side avatars have been enabled. There isn't much there at present - just a smattering of Majin Tensei 2 and Super Robot Wars stuff, but there'll be more in the future. You can still link to offsite avatars, too.
